    The sponge mod

    My workbench just dreams of being that organized. Lol.

    Looking to be pointed in the right direction.

    Check out the mod kits at Madvapes. Advanced Personal Vaporizers Affordable complete and with instruction. Can easily use all components in a wood box of your making.

    mechanical copper mod that needs a tank

    Copper is a "gummy" metal and wants to stick to everything when drilling or machining. Get a step drill or start small and step up drill size until desired hole is achieved. Drill press and vise highly recommended to control feed rate. Mineral oil on the bit will help it cut more smoothly.

    Good 3A Metal Push Button

    Appears to be rated based on AC voltage but the led is specified as DC v. Should be fine. Nice they even give a resistor value for the led.

    Still Simple Switch With Opposing Magnets and Safety

    Neat stuff. Not sure I would have the patience for all the small parts making.

    4050 booster question

    OK. Thanks again. Bumped both caps to 150uf and working good. Did not quite get my tube small enough. Goal was direct replacement of an18650 with the booster and 18350 but my module ended up a little long. Have to get it a little shorter. Does fit with a 16340 though so at least I can enjoy my...

    4050 booster question

    I only ran a 60uf on the input side thinking it just served to stabilize power. I will bump it up and see how it does.

    4050 booster question

    18650 with a 510 connector. Did not solder my board leads to test; just twisted. So probably just a loose connection. So I should have no noise when operating correctly? U said starved for current so I guess that could be either low input or too much draw on output correct? Just checked the...

    4050 booster question

    Well, got everything soldered up nice and neat. Tested with my "bench battery". 3.9v input; 4.95v output with control pin open. Vapes clouds. There is a slight audible noise from the booster; not even as noticeable as the crackle of the atty ; is this normal? Ready to start installation but...

    4050 booster question

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Switch is for illustrative purposes only to confirm my new layout; the mod being used has a full mechanical switch.

    4050 booster question

    Thanks Java. This is what I have laid out. Seems I saw a list of resistor values for various output voltages too but can't find it now. If someone has a link to that info please post.

    4050 booster question

    Can the switch be placed on the negative side of the board? So far diagrams I have been looking at are all positive side switched. The mod I want to add this chip to is already negative switched. Edit. Also if the control pin is left blank will I get 5v and adding the resistor is just to alter...

    Repairable CE2

    Preheating the resistance wire in the same manner as oxidizing a stainless wick (but without quenching) softens the wire and removes some of the springiness. This allows a tighter wrap and better connection on the contact pins.

    RCA Vertical Coil Genesis Drip Atty

    RCA connector with genesis style vertical coil and thin strip of wrapped PTB to insulate the wick from the posts and retain liquid. Forgive me if this has already been done a hundred times I am new to Modding but the idea was to incorporate as many good ideas as possible yet still be simple...

    VV Copper Bottom Feeder

    Nice stuff as always. And if all else fails the 18650 tube would make a formidable striking weapon. Lol.

    Battery question

    Have not used any dual battery setups but 5v output vs ma for the batteries sounds about right. You don't specify what atty/carto ohm you are using either, and that has a big impact on battery consumption.

    a couple of tanks and a pass through i made

    BD.....I am sure u have already read this but worth saying anyway if u didn't.....Passthroughs can be hard on computer based USB power sometimes damaging the computer. Run it from an AC outlet with adapter whenever possible.
